Evaluation of tourism web sites: A theoretical framework
The paper outlines a theoretical framework for the discussion and identification of indicators measuring the properties of web sites. In this framework we distinguish between the web site as a medium for describing an object, the web site as an object of description and the normative judgement of a web site. The framework is the basis for a project currently carried out and which has as its aim to establish indicators for tourism web sites and use them in an open benchmarking process to enforce the improvement of the set of independent web sites marketing a given tourist destination both individually and as a resource in the collective presentation of the destination. The case studied is the Sognefjord region in Western Norway.

Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum
Arts for Transit Collaborative
New York City Architectural Artifacts from the Collection of the Brooklyn Museum, 2004
Terra cotta artifacts and glass mosaic on mezzanine and stairway walls
The Brooklyn Museum has long served as a repository for ornamental architectural forms salvaged from significant buildings that were being demolished. Seventy-eight of these artifacts are installed in the Eastern Parkway/Brooklyn Museum subway station, enriching the environment and creating an introduction to the museum above. Among these are plaques, lunettes, keystones, and other decorative elements that represent the city's architectural heritage. The project is a successful example of institutional collaboration. The Brooklyn Museum, working with MTA Arts for Transit and Vel Riberto Consulting, selected the artifacts and donated them to the project. New mosaic designs were added, to frame the objects and to make connections with the architecture of the station.

Field Dressing Deer for Beginners: Best Practices
In this blog post, we will be discussing how to field dress a deer. Field dressing is an essential step in the process of harvesting game meat. If you don't field dress your deer, it can spoil and ruin your meat before you ever get it home or cooked! The best way to learn how to field dress a deer for beginners is by watching someone who knows what they are doing and asking questions when needed. All too often, people try to wing it on their own only to end up with a mess of blood all over themselves and no idea what they did wrong. In this blog post, I will give you everything that you need so that you can do things right the first time around!
Harvesting Game Meat
You may be wondering why you need to harvest game meat. Well, deer meat is not like beef or chicken. It needs to be harvested and appropriately dressed for it to taste good! Deer meat, in particular, can go wrong quickly, especially if you let it sit out for too long. The good news is that if you know how to field dress a deer correctly, you can have fresh meat on the table in as little as an hour! This is, of course, if you are close to your home.
The Process of Field Dressing a Deer
Field dressing is the process of removing all internal organs from an animal. Before you can do this, it is necessary to remove any entrails in or near the animal's abdominal cavity. The next step would be to skin out and quarter your deer carcass. Cutting off the legs just above where they meet with the body will make them easier to handle when transporting back home! Once field dressed, a deer should weigh around 100 pounds on average, which means that if you're hunting for meat alone, then one deer should provide enough food for your family as long as you plan by freezing (or storing) some cuts now so that there won't be anything left over after the field dressing is complete.
Tools Used
The tools used to field dress a deer include a knife, kitchen shears, a spoon, or a small bowl to collect the entrails and organs from inside the body cavity. Preparation for field dressing includes removing any unwanted parts of the deer, such as antlers or horns that could limit how close you can get to your animal. You may also want an extra set of hands nearby to help with this process if you're not alone in your hunt!
Step One In Field Dressing Your Deer
The first step to field dressing a deer is to make an initial incision in the hide that goes from just below the navel on one side of the deer's body up to, but not through, a similar point on the other side.
Step Two In Field Dressing Your Deer
The next step is then to make another cut across and around this opening to form a flap. This will allow you access to all parts of your animal for removing entrails without touching or contaminating any internal organs with external material like dirt or bacteria from outside sources. The goal is always cleanliness!
Parts to Discard
The parts of the deer that you want to leave in the field would be the head, the entire digestive tract (except for the heart and liver), all of the inedible muscle meat on legs and other extremities.
How long should Field dressing take?
Field dressing a deer needs to be done at a quick pace. This process should be completed in less than a few minutes. Any longer and you run the risk of creating an environment that is not safe for the meat.
How to Cook Deer Meat
There are many different methods for cooking deer meat. Some of the most common ways to cook deer meat include grilling, roasting, smoking, and frying.
Grilling Deer Meat
When grilling deer meat, you want to cook it for a few minutes on each side. An excellent tip for grilling deer meat is to marinate it before cooking the first time.
Roasting Deer Meat
The best way to cook a whole roast of deer meat is in an oven between 350°F and 425°F degrees Fahrenheit for about 20-25 mins per pound or until tender enough that a spoon can press into the flesh without any resistance. Another option you might have if you are cooking smaller pieces of venison, such as chops, steaks, etc., would be to use your stovetop grill pan over medium heat with olive oil spray coating the surface flipping every couple of minutes until the desired doneness has been achieved.
When roasting deer meat, remember not to overcook. This can cause the meat to become very rough and tough.
Secret Techniques to Grilling Deer Meat
A few tips that can help when cooking deer meat are not to overcook it, but also don't undercook it because the flavor will be lost in both instances. Understanding how much time you need to cook your venison will depend on factors such as what cut of meat, if there are any bone fragments inside and whether or not it's been previously frozen. Another trick I like using while grilling my roast venison is by turning off one burner on the stovetop to have a cooler section for searing and then finishing up with about ten minutes of roasting over high heat. This helps give my venison a nice crusty sear which adds more taste. You will want to experiment with your deer meat to find the sweet spot that allows for a great meal.
In Conclusion
Although it can be a little stomach-turning to field dress a deer for the first time, it is an absolute must to have safe meat to eat. You will want to clean the intestines and stomach of any fecal matter, remove all hair from inside then wash it out with water. Once the deer has been field dressed, you can start getting it back to your car or truck for transporting home, where you will either be able to cook right away or freeze it for later use.
Remember that cleanliness is key to all field dressing for any game you happen to catch out on the hunt. Stay safe and enjoy your hunting adventures and enjoy the ability to feed your family with many delicious meals.

Wanted: Effectively-Once Processing in Azure
This experimental post is a question. The question is too broad for StackOverflow, so I'm posting it here. Please engage in the comments section, or forward the link to subject experts.
TL;DR: Are there any known patterns / tools / frameworks to provide scalable, stateful, effectively-once, end-to-end processing of messages, to be hosted in Azure, preferably on PaaS-level of service?
Motivational Example
Let's say we are making a TODO app. There is a constant flow of requests to create a TODO in the system. Each request contains just two fields: a title and a project ID which TODO should belong to. Here is the definition:
type TodoRequest = {
 ProjectId: int
 Title: string
Now, we want to process the request and assign each TODO an identifier, which should be an auto-incremented integer. Numeration is unique per project, so each TODO must have its own combination of ProjectId and Id:
type Todo = {
 ProjectId: int
 Id: int
 Title: string
Now, instead of relying on some database sequences, I want to describe this transformation as a function. The function has the type (TodoRequest, int) -> (Todo, int), i.e. it transforms a tuple of a request and current per-project state (last generated ID) to a tuple of a TODO and post-processing state:
let create (request: TodoRequest, state: int) =
 let nextId = state + 1
 let todo = {
 ProjectId = request.ProjectId
 Id = nextId
 Title = request.Title
 todo, nextId
This is an extremely simple function, and I can use it to great success to process local, non-durable data.
But if I need to make a reliable distributed application out of it, I need to take care of lots of things:
 1. No request should be lost. I need to persist all the requests into a durable storage in case of processor crash.
 2. Similarly, I need to persist TODO's too. Presumably, some downstream logic will use the persisted data later on in TODO's lifecycle.
 3. The state (the counter) must be durable too. In case of crash of processing function, I want to be able to restart processing after recovery.
 4. Processing of the requests should be sequential per project ID. Otherwise I might get a clash of ID's in case two requests belonging to the same project are processed concurrently.
 5. I still want requests to different projects to be processed in parallel, to make sure the system scales up with the growth of project count.
 6. There must be no holes or duplicates in TODO numbering per project, even in face of system failures. In worst case, I agree to tolerate a duplicated entry in the output log, but it must be exactly the same entry (i.e. two entries with same project id, id and title).
 7. The system should tolerate a permanent failure of any single hardware dependency and automatically fail-over within reasonable time.
It's not feasible to meet all of those requirements without relying on some battle-tested distributed services or frameworks.
Which options do I know of?
Traditionally, this kind of requirements were solved by using transactions in something like SQL Server. If I store requests, TODO's and current ID per project in the same relational database, I can make each processing step a single atomic transaction.
This addresses all the concerns, as long as we can stay inside the single database. That's probably a viable option for the TODO app, but less of so if I convert my toy example to some real applications like IoT data processing.
Can we do the same for distributed systems at scale?
Azure Event Hubs
Since I touched IoT space, the logical choice would be to store our entries in Azure Event Hubs. That works for many criteria, but I don't see any available approach to make such processing consistent in the face of failures.
When processing is done, we need to store 3 pieces: generated TODO event, current processing offset and current ID. Event goes to another event hub, processing offset is stored in Blob Storage and ID can be saved to something like Table Storage.
But there's no way to store those 3 pieces atomically. Whichever order we choose, we are bound to get anomalies in some specific failure modes.
Azure Functions
Azure Functions don't solve those problems. But I want to mention this Function-as-a-Service offering because they provide an ideal programming model for my use case.
I need to take just one step from my domain function to Azure Function: to define bindings for e.g. Event Hubs and Table Storage.
However, reliability guarantees will stay poor. I won't get neither sequential processing per Event Hub partition key, nor atomic state commit.
Azure Service Fabric
Service Fabric sounds like a good candidate service for reliable processing. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with it to judge.
Please leave a comment if you do.
JVM World
There are products in JVM world which claim to solve my problem perfectly.
Apache Kafka was the inspiration for Event Hubs log-based messaging. The recent Kafka release provides effectively-once processing semantics as long as data stay inside Kafka. Kafka does that with atomic publishing to multiple topics, and state storage based on compacted topics.
Apache Flink has similar guarantees for its stream processing APIs.
Great, but how do I get such awesomeness in.NET code, and without installing expensive ZooKeeper-managed clusters?
Call for Feedback
Do you know a solution, product or service?
Have you developed effectively-once processing on.NET / Azure stack?
Are you in touch with somebody who works on such framework?
Please leave a comment, or ping me on Twitter.

Alone Together, the Social Life of Benches illuminates the thoughts and memories of frequent users of two public spaces in London: General Gordon Square, Woolwich and St Helier Open Space, Sutton. Revolving around the micro-space of the humble bench, the emotional and experiential capacity of film is used to highlight themes such as the feeling of being in a space, the rhythm and flow of visitors to a place, and the importance of design for everyday street furniture.
The film acts like a stranger who joins you on a bench to 'watch the world go by', and break the ice by starting a conversation with their fellow bench user.

Hundreds of thousands of wild flower seedlings are being planted across Northern Ireland thanks to the efforts of prisoners from HMP Magilligan.
Community groups, schools and organisations across Northern Ireland have started planting a variety of wild flower seedlings at hundreds of locations this spring as the build-up to summer gathers pace.
The native wild flower seedlings are being provided by Grow Wild and HM Prison Magilligan in a joint effort to provide active and meaningful work for the inmates whilst also doing something positive in communities across Northern Ireland. Wild flowers will flourish in the summer creating spaces full of colour, beauty and wildlife.
Wild flower seedlings have already been planted at CAFRE's Greenmount College, where students are introducing them to their wildlife garden, the green roofs of Creggan Country Park, Londonderry, boosting the colour in the Cornfield Project, Coleraine, PeasPark and other community gardens in Belfast and 30 primary schools across the Causeway Coast and Glens area including St Aidan's in Magilligan.
Stéphanie Baine, Grow Wild's Northern Ireland Partnership Manager, said: "These germinated seedlings are very popular because they provide many benefits to people, pollinators and wildlife across Northern Ireland. We find that people get together in their local community or school to plant the seedlings, encouraging them to get active outdoors. And the seedlings will provide essential nectar sources for pollinators when they flower."
Austin Treacy, Governor of Magilligan, said: "The space and workforce at Magilligan complex is entirely suited to helping this great project. I am delighted that our work has helped so many communities and schools across the province.
More wild flower seedlings will be available in May and can be planted to inject colour into spaces along the main roads, in parks, and community areas across the region this summer. Contact _EMAIL_ if your school or group would be interested in getting involved.

Power Absorption
Power Information
To absorbs magical powers leaving the original owner without any of their powers.
 - Point hand at target
 - Through touch (may involve killing the victim or when using artifacts)
Defensive Power
Image Gallery
Power Absorption is the ability to absorb magical powers, leaving the original owner without their powers. It is often accomplished by killing the power's original host and then taking the power, but has been done without killing the original host.
Methods of Power AbsorptionEdit
Warlocks absorb the powers of other magical beings by killing the host and naturally obtaining their magic. Their most common targets are witches, though they go after demons and whitelighters as well.
The Slime Demon used this power to feed on the magic of other beings for survival, as did the Spider demon along with her Life Draining power. However, they used different methods: for example; The Slime Demon would engulf the foe with its slimy figure and digests them, while The Spider Demon would wrap her victims in a cocoon of webs and drain their powers through her hands
The Dogan had the power to absorb the Essence of other magical beings, good or evil by killing them, absorbing their powers and the beings themselves through his hands in the process. The method used by Zankou was the same.
The Titans had the power to absorb the abilities of other magical beings by pointing both hands at them.
Cole Turner was also able to absorb powers through touch while he was in the Demonic Wasteland. Though it's unknown if he can do that outside of Wasteland.
Parasite Demons were a duo of demons cursed by a witch, reducing them to a powerless state, forcing them the absorb other beings' life force and powers to live.
Sirk had the power to absorb the abilities of other magical beings, by killing them. He gained Paige Matthews ability to access magic school when he killed her. He also gains random powers for each kill, whether his victim is magical or not.
All warlocks have the innate ability to absorb the power of the beings they kill by stabbing them with an athame. However, Matthew Tate had the ability to copy the powers used on him without killing the victim.
Certain Athames are able to naturally absorb a being's powers into the blade and then into the wielder. It is commonly used by Warlocks to kill witches and steal/store their powers.
The Hollow can absorb all powers that it comes in physical contact with. Once the Hollow is contained, the powers are returned.
The Crystal Sword was a formidable magical weapon formerly owned by Gabriel Statler which could absorb the powers and skills of other magical beings.
Drake dè Mon, a former Mercury demon, once made a Deal with a Sorcerer to be made human, with a soul, but if Drake used his powers in an offensive manner, they would be forfeit to the Sorcerer.
Spells and RitualsEdit
A witch can use a spell to extract the power of Empathy from someone: To Relinquish an Empath's Power. However, the power will find a new host, the spell caster, if physical contact is established during the spell. However, the power of empathy will drive the witch insane if they were never meant to have it, and will die within 24 hours unless the power is withdrawn.
A witch can also use a spell to steal another witch's magic: To Separate a Witch from Her Powers. While witches can use this spell to take someone's magic into themselves, they can also redirect it to someone they intend to give the power to. Gail Altman, Amanda and Helen used this spell to deliver the Charmed Ones' powers to the demon Cryto. The spell is used once again by the Stillman sisters to steal the Charmed Ones' powers for themselves.
In the spell to separate a witch's power, there is also a potion required for the spell to work properly. Zankou used this potion to steal the Charmed Ones' powers. However, the potion is useless if the witch it targets is in astral mode.
Offensive UsageEdit
Power absorption is mostly used to weaken one's opponents, draining them and leaving them powerless to fight while adding the absorbed powers and magic to one's own arsenal. In the case of the Hollow or the Parasite Demons, they absorb the magic of the powers or potions used on them, granting them a form of immunity towards attacks, but they vary in the fact that The Hollow can automatically absorb the powers used on it or its host(s) but the Parasite Demons have to do it consciously, leaving them vulnerable to attack when caught off-guard.
List of UsersEdit
Original power
Through artifacts, potions, etc.
 1. Through the use of an Athame.
 2. Through the Crystal Sword.
 3. While in the the Demonic Wasteland.

Nokia Drive 3.1 - Where does My Commute in Nokia Drive retrieve the traffic info from?
The traffic info for My Commute is collected from various sources:
 - Incident reports: Incidents range from jams on highways to planned construction works. These reports come often from local authorities such as the police or a local traffic management central. In many areas we have partnerships with the local authorities who will send the information to us.
 - Highway sensors: Many metropolitan areas have statically installed traffic flow sensors that measure the current average speeds on highways and major roads.
 - Crowd-sourcing: While the incident reports are very punctual and the installed sensors usually focused on major highways, we are also using the wisdom of the crowd to understand the traffic situation over the whole city. These are for example Nokia smartphones running Nokia Drive. People who are consuming traffic information can also improve the service by providing anonymous information about their current travel speed.
 - Historic information: The above information is archived and assumptions are made about the current speed on a street based on the historic information if there's not enough information from sensors or probes. Many streets in a city have a very regular pattern, e.g. the same traffic jam every morning but fast during night times.
 - Modelling: In many cases the traffic situation on the whole street network can be deducted from partial information. E.g. from a heavy jam on a highway one can often deduct the situation on the slip road entering the highway as well as the streets just before that.

ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. — The Wyoming Department of Transportation was awarded the 2022 Environmental Excellence Award by the Federal Highway Administration.
WYDOT won this award in the category of Ecosystems, Habitats, and Wildlife for its efforts in the Snake River Bridge reconstruction and wildlife crossing integration project.
This is one of 14 awards that are given out nationwide in a variety of environmental categories.
The Snake River Bridge project was undertaken by WYDOT in collaboration with Wyoming Game and Fish, Teton County, and other community organizations. The project was designed to replace a bridge on Wyoming Highway 22 and expand it to accommodate local and migrating wildlife within the Greater Yellowstone National Park ecosystem.
The project will extend the bridge in order to accommodate a wildlife underpass and will include three additional wildlife crossings that will facilitate safer wildlife movements, especially for large animals such as moose, elk, and deer.
The Federal Highway Administration cited "WYDOT's exemplary achievement" and "extensive stakeholder collaboration, community engagement, and environmental considerations" in conferring the award.
The Snake River Bridge project will be set to contract this fall and construction could take place as early as spring 2023.

Check if Array is Empty in Julia
To check if an array is empty in Julia, you can use the isempty function. This function takes an array as its argument and returns true if the array is empty, and false otherwise. Here is an example:
Check if Array is Empty in Julia
julia> a = []
0-element Array{Any,1}
julia> isempty(a)
true
julia> b = [1, 2, 3]
3-element Array{Int64,1}:
 1
 2
 3
julia> isempty(b)
false
In the first example, we create an empty array a using the square bracket syntax. We then use the isempty function to check if the array is empty. Since the array does not contain any elements, the isempty function returns true.
In the second example, we create a non-empty array b containing three elements. When we apply the isempty function to this array, it returns false because the array is not empty.
Overall, the isempty function is a simple and effective way to check if an array is empty in Julia. It is a useful tool for working with arrays in your code.
Here is an advanced example that demonstrates some additional features of the isempty function:
julia> a = []
0-element Array{Any,1}
julia> # Check if array is empty or contains only missing values
julia> isempty(a) || all(ismissing, a)
true
julia> b = [1, 2, missing]
3-element Array{Union{Missing, Int64},1}:
 1
 2
 missing
julia> # Check if array is empty or contains only missing values
julia> isempty(b) || all(ismissing, b)
true

3-element Array{Int64,1}:

 2
 3
julia> # Check if array is empty or contains only missing values
julia> isempty(c) || all(ismissing, c)
false
In this example, we use the isempty function in combination with the all function and the ismissing function to check if an array is empty or contains only missing values.
We first create an empty array a and a non-empty array b that contains missing values. When we apply the isempty function to these arrays, it returns true because they are either empty or contain only missing values.
Next, we create a non-empty array c that does not contain any missing values. When we apply the isempty function to this array, it returns false because the array is not empty and does not contain only missing values.
This example shows how the isempty function can be used in combination with other functions to check for more complex conditions in arrays. It can be a useful tool for working with arrays in Julia.

How To Remove A Nail From A Tire
How To Remove A Nail From A Tire
If you have a flat tire, there's a good chance that one of your nails has gotten caught in the tire. Here's how to remove a nail from a tire:
1. Locate the nail. It's likely that the nail is lodged in the tread or the rubber around the circumference of the tire.
2. Use a tire iron to hit the nail hard with the blunt end of the iron. This will break the nail off the end of the tire.
3. Use a wrench to turn the tire iron around the circumference of the nail. This will loosen the nail and it can be easily removed.

Remove a nail from a tire
If you find a nail in your tire, the first thing you should do is remove it as quickly as possible to avoid puncturing the tire. If you can't get the nail out yourself, you'll need to get a tool to remove it.
There are a few different ways to remove a nail from a tire. You can use a standard tire iron, which will create a hole in the tire. Or you can use a pneumatic hammer to break the nail off. If neither of these methods work, you'll need to get a special nail removal tool.

There are a few different types of nail removal tools. The most common is a claw hammer. This tool has a pointed end that grabs the nail and a hammer head on the other end that breaks the nail off. You can also get a chisel type tool, which has a sharp, wedge-shaped head. This tool is used to break the nail off at the base.
Once you have the tool that you need, you'll need to position it so that the pointed end is touching the nail and the hammer head is facing the tire. Then, hit the nail with the hammer head, breaking the nail off.
The tools you will need
 - A flat head screwdriver
 - A tire iron
 - A bottle of acetone or nail polish remover
 - A grater
 - A safety pin
 - A piece of wood
 - A towel
 1. Start by unscrewing the bead of the tire iron. This is the round, metal part at the end of the iron that has a handle.
 2. Pry off the nail with the screwdriver.
 3. Repeat until all the nails are removed.
 4. Pour acetone or nail polish remover into the tire iron and heat it up until it is hot.
 5. Place the grater over the nail and grind it off.
 6. Use the safety pin to hold the nail while you remove the rest of the nail with the screwdriver.
 7. Break off the end of the nail and discard it.
 8. Replace the bead on the tire iron and tighten it.
Step one
Get a nail remover that is made specifically for tires. There are many on the market, so find the one that is both easy to use and safe for your nails.
Step two
Put on your safety goggles and gloves. This is important because you don't want any of the chemicals on your skin to get into your eyes.
Step three
Secure the nail remover to the tire using the included straps.
Step four
Insert the nail remover into the nail.
Step five
Grip the remover with your other hand and pull out the nail. Be sure to use steady, even pressure to avoid puncturing the tire.
Step two
Carefully remove the nail with a pair of pliers. Make sure to grip the nail tightly so that it does not slip out. Apply pressure to the nail with the pliers in a circular motion until the nail pops out.
Step three
If the nail refuses to come out with a standard pair of pliers, you may need to use a pneumatic tool. Put the end of the pliers over the protruding nail and inflate the tool with air until it's about the size of the nail. Push down on the pliers, and the nail should pop out.
Finishing up
So there you have it, a detailed guide on how to remove a nail from a tire. Whether you're a professional mechanic or a DIY enthusiast, this guide will help you get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Remember, take care when removing nails from tires, as they can be sharp and damaging if not done correctly. If you do happen to nick the tire or puncture it in any way, be sure to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Conclusion
The best way to remove a nail from a tire is to use a tire iron. You can also use a nail puller, but be careful not to puncture the tire.

The X-ray diffraction of methanol molecules confined in carbon micropores having different pore widths (micropore widths, 0.7 and 1.1 nm) was measured at 303 K and the structural results were compared with those of ethanol. The methanol molecules confined in micropores of 0.7 nm have a more solid-like ordered structure than in 1.1 nm. The nearest-neighbor peak of the electron radial distribution function of confined methanol did not shift from that of bulk methanol, but the amplitude was much greater than that of bulk methanol. These results were different from those of confined ethanol. Methanol molecules confined in carbon micropores have a rigid organized structure even at 303 K. However, no remarkable orientation effect, as in confined ethanol, was observed.

Percentage Of Completion Method
Definition of 'Percentage Of Completion Method'
An accounting method in which the revenues and expenses of long-term contracts are recognized yearly as a percentage of the work completed during that year. This is the opposite of the completed contract method, which allows taxpayers to defer the reporting of any income and expenses until a long-term project is completed. The percentage of completion method of accounting is commonly used in construction projects.
Investopedia explains 'Percentage Of Completion Method'
The percentage of completion method of accounting requires the reporting of revenues and expenses on a yearly basis, as determined by the percentage of the contract that has been fulfilled. The current income and expenses are compared with the total estimated costs to determine the tax liability for the year. For example, a project that is 30% complete in year one and 45% complete in year two would only have the incremental 15% of revenue recognized in the second year.

Communicating with Vocal Emotions
Talk by Oleksandr Talavera (Birmingham) as part of the Research Seminar Series of the IOS Economics Department.
This paper explores the interpersonal vocal communication of managers with analysts during earnings conference calls. We apply a novel machine learning technique on a sample of more than 20,000 earnings conference calls of S&P 500 firms to generate voice emotions measures. Focusing on analyst-manager conversations, we find evidence of reciprocal interactions when managers respond with a similar vocal emotion to analysts. We also document that managers, who dialogue with a female analyst, exhibit a more positive vocal response. Moreover, female managers and younger managers are more likely to display negative vocal emotions than their male and older colleagues. Further analysis shows that investors and analysts incorporate emotionally charged information in trading and earnings forecasts.

Word problem on Percentage
In a room with 35 men, 80 percent of the occupants are women. How many women are in the room?
Answer STEP 1:
The percentage of women present in the room is given as 80. So, in a room with only women and men, the percentage of men present will be 100 – 80 = 20.STEP 2:
Since we are given the number of men in the room, we find that it is easy find the number of women, if we know the total number of occupants in the room. Let's assign any variable say x
for the total number of people. Now, let us determine x
Percentage of men × total occupants = Number of menSTEP 3:
The total number of occupants in the room is 175, and the number of men is 35. Subtract 35 from 175 to get the number of women in the room.

Learn to add a distressed look to any artwork in Adobe Illustrator by applying traced texture as an opacity mask.
O que você precisará
What you learned: How to apply texture to artwork with an opacity mask and artwork
Trace the texture
To apply texture to artwork, you can convert a raster image to vector artwork for scalability and editability.
- With the image selected, click Image Trace in the Properties panel and choose a default trace option.
Adjust tracing options for the best results
With the traced image selected, click the Image Trace panel button in the Properties panel to open it and adjust image trace options.
- Use the Paths option to set how loosely or tightly the image is traced.
- The Corners option enables control over more smooth or sharp corners.
- Change the Noise option: the lower the value, the smaller the details that you can trace.
- To edit the traced artwork, click Expand in the Properties panel.
Apply an opacity mask to the artwork
You can use an opacity mask to mask or hide parts of your artwork. Unlike a typical mask, the opacity mask is white where the artwork is showing. The opacity mask is black where the artwork is hidden. Shades of gray in the mask result in varying degrees of transparency in the artwork.
- Open the Transparency panel by choosing Window > Transparency. The Transparency panel is where you create and edit an opacity mask.
- Drag the traced texture on top of the artwork.
- Select the artwork and the texture that will become the opacity mask.
- Click Make Mask. By default, the Clip option is set. The Clip option gives the mask a black background.
- If your traced artwork is black, deselect Clip to see the mask applied to the artwork.
Edit the opacity mask and artwork
The artwork and the mask are treated as a group, but you can edit them together or separately.
- With the artwork selected, to edit the mask (and not the artwork), click the mask thumbnail in the Transparency panel. You can edit the mask by adding more content, erasing, and more.
- To edit the artwork, click the artwork thumbnail in the Transparency panel.
- To unlink the artwork from the mask, click the link icon.

text: In the paper is presented methodology of the X-ray image processing application to investigate gravitational flow in rectangular silo model. The proposed normalization procedure of X-ray data allows to visualize the changes of the volume fraction of sand during silo discharging process. The applied procedure of image processing, in contrast to the previously author works, allows to obtained more accurate information about the changes of material distribution level during process. The conducted image analysis simplifies the investigation of mass flow in various area of silo. The obtained results show the different particle behaviour in centre and at silo wall area. The experiments were conducted for different initially level of sand densities and roughness of the silo wall. Visualization of dissimilarity in interaction between the particles and particles, and between particles and the silo walls, even for smooth wall, was the main result of the Xray image analysis, especially for shear zone visualization.


Zod Tutorial (10 exercises)
solution
Refactoring Duplicated Schemas
Once again, there are a bunch ways that this code could be refactored.
For reference, here's what we started with:
The Simple solution
The simplest solution is to strip out the id into its own type. From there, each of the z.objects could reference it:
This is pretty good, but id: ID is still being repeated. All of the cases are still passing, so that's okay.
Use the Extend Method
Another solution would be to create a base object which we'll call ObjectWithId. This base object will contain our id:
From there, we can use the extend method to create new schemas that add on to the base object:
Note that .extend() will overwrite fields!
Use the Merge Method
Similar to the above solution, we could use the merge method to extend the ObjectWithId base object:
Using .merge() is slightly more verbose than .extend(). We have to pass in a z.object() that contains the name z.string().
Merging is generally used when two different types are being combined, rather than just extending a single type.
Those are a few different ways that you can compose objects together in Zod to reduce the amount of code duplication, make things more DRY, and make things a bit more maintainable!
Transcript
There are a bunch of possible solutions here. The simplest solution is to strip out the ID thing here into its own type and then reference that within all the other z.objects, which is pretty good but we're still getting this object id: Id thing here. All of our cases are passing. This is OK.
Another solution would be to create a base object here, which is an ObjectWithId and then use the .extend function. What extend does is it creates a new type with the initial stuff here and the stuff that you add here.
What we end up with is we've got this ObjectWithId. That's the base of all of these pieces. If we add something else here, like created At which could be z.date, then this would also be shared across of the objects. That, obviously, wasn't the ID because we're going to get a lot of errors, then.
Another way you could do this is by using merge here. Merge, what it means, is you take the base ObjectWithId and you merge it with another object. You can see that this is slightly more verbose than the other version, then just extend, because here we're we get to pass in an object containing the name z.string.
Inside here, we actually have to pass a z.object. We have to wrap it in Zod. What this means is you can use this more generally to merge two different types together instead of just extending from them.
Those are different ways that you can compose objects together in Zod to reduce the amount of code duplication, make things more dry, and make things a bit more maintainable.

20. Christian Headstone with Canopy
Yuan dynasty (1272—1368)
Quanzhou Maritime Museum
Ricci 20 KP 020 Z24
A canopy or parasol was used in ancient India to protect kings and other royals from the sun, and it subsequently became a symbol of power and prestige. It was natural to use a canopy in association with the Buddha as he had been a prince before attaining enlightenment. It can be seen in the early Buddhist art of India, and was transmitted to Central Asia and China where it appears, for example, at Dunhuang. A similar canopy to the one shown on this tombstone can be seen on a panel relief on the Eastern pagoda of the Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, completed about 1250.
The discovery of the canopy's presence on Christian tombstones of the Mongol period is quite remarkable, and yet explicable in the context of the multiculturalism of Quanzhou. The canopy has tassels or streamers dangling from it and protects the cross emerging from an open lotus flower.

Standard House Measurements
The standard house measurement in the United States is 2,349 square feet. That is double the figure during the 1950s. A look at the history of housing in the US reveals that house dimensions have increased as living standards went up.
18th Century Homes
Records show the first American homes were one storey, one room edifices made using European building techniques. These were remodeled to fit the topography and setting in the New World.
Most of these homes never went beyond 450 sq ft. As the years went by however, these homes were expanded. Around the 1850s, the houses were expanded. Most notably, the heights were increased by 12 inches or more.
19th Century Standard House Measurements
Many small row houses emerged during this time. These houses measured 20 feet across. These narrow homes would however, extend 40 feet back. As the years passed, the row houses became deeper. The 25 ft lots were segregated into three sections.
But many big homes were constructed during the 1800s. Many of them were between 2,200 and 2,800 sq ft. This is about the size of the typical home today. The bedrooms and other rooms became standardized around this time.
20th Century Homes
The oldest bungalow houses in the US measured 600 to 800 sq ft. The square footage of these early 20th century homes were minimized to make up for the costs of heating and plumbing. Around the 1950s, the average size was 1,000 sq ft. During the 1970s, the standard house measurements were 1500 sq ft.
While the house size is increasing, the lot size has been decreasing. In 1990, the typical lot size was 14,680 sq ft. In 1998, the average lot size shrank to 12,870 sq ft.
By 2010 the lot size will go down by another one thousand sq ft. By compassion, the average lot in the 1970s was 1,125 sq ft.
Important Measurements for House Designs
The average height for master bathroom cabinets is 29". However, some designers prefer a height of 35". For kids the height is usually 31". The standard bathroom cabinet depth is 18 to 20".
If you are going to install a chandelier, the installation height should be 30" over the table. This is for an 8 ft high ceiling. If the ceiling is over eight feet, the installation height should be 34 inches high.
For paintings, pictures and other hangings, it should be at eye level. In most cases that would be 65" from the ground.
The height of the average kitchen cabinet is 34-1/2" from the floor. The typical kitchen cabinet wall installation height is 18" off the countertop. That is equal to 54" above your floor.
The typical kitchen base cabinet is 24 inches wide. The standard kitchen wall cabinet is 12" wide. The kitchen countertop space from the sink is 18 to 30" for one side and 48 to 54" by the other.
These dimensions are suitable for the standard house measurements. If your home is smaller or bigger, you will have to make changes to the specifications.

What Does Pull the Plug Mean?
Pull the Plug Meaning
Definition: To terminate a project, end support, or remove a person from medical life support.
Origin of Pull the Plug Meaning
The word plug in this idiom refers to the device at the end of a power cord that makes an electrical connection with an outlet. It usually has two or three metal prongs on the end, which go into the outlet holes.
Therefore, the literal meaning of pull the plug is simply to unplug something. For example, to pull the plug is to remove the power cord of an electronic device from the outlet.
The first figurative usage, meaning to terminate a project or to withdraw support, originated around the 1940s.
Another figurative usage, meaning to take a person off of life support, originated a little later, in the 1960s.
Both senses of the idiom show the clear connection between cutting off electrical power and cutting off support.
Using pull the plug to describe removing a person from life support is insensitive. For that reason, you should not use it if you are trying to be sympathetic. People often use it as a way to argue that a person should remain on life support, because in their opinion, pulling the plug would be cruel.
Examples of Pull the Plug Meaning
pull the plug offIn the following example, two friends are discussing a sick family member.
Kerry: I'm worried that Aunt Bessie will never come out of the coma.
Christine: Well, I think you might be right. The doctors said that if she were going to wake up, it would be sooner rather than later. It's been a week already. Her health is getting worse instead of better.
Kerry: Are you saying that we should just give up on her?
Christine: No, but she never wanted to be on life support. She had a DNR (do not resuscitate) order.
Kerry: So we should just pull the plug?
Christine: Don't think of it that way. Think of it as following her last wishes.
pull the plug onIn this dialogue, two friends are discussing the organization they both work for.
Arlena: I have bad news. The Environmental Defense Group might not exist for much longer.
Nyima: Why not?
Arlena: The group's biggest financial supporter is pulling the plug on funding. The group won't be able to afford to operate after that.
More Examples
The example below is about some people who provide funding for football teams and how they don't like the players to protest politically.
 - Many brokers and bankers — some of whom are also military veterans — have threatened to pull the plug on pro football for not reining in players who are using the American national anthem as an opportunity to protest by taking the knee. –New York Post
This excerpt is from an article about a woman who wrote a book about a magazine that she ran.
 - Brown ran Vanity Fair from 1983 to 1992. In the early days, the magazine struggled mightily, and she had to plead with S.I.Newhouse to give her a few more issues and not pull the plug. –New York Post
The phrase pull the plug means to suddenly stop supporting something, to end a project, or to allow someone who is being kept alive by machines to die.

Often, the meaning is clear from the context. In educational research, the psychometric definition generally applies. In papers on osteoporosis, the bone density definition is probably the intended definition.
Sometimes, though, the meaning is not clear. Some statistics texts use the term to mean "t statistic". Others use the psychometric definition.
To avoid confusion, the Stat Trek website avoids the term "t score". It uses "t statistic", instead.

Lost but Not Forgotten memorial plaque
A joint partnership between the Aboriginal community and Kempsey Shire Council has enabled dozens of unmarked graves to be acknowledged and remembered at the East Kempsey Cemetery. A special memorial plaque has been set in a large boulder at the cemetery and was unveiled on Tuesday, 19th December 2006.
The East Kempsey Cemetery was surveyed using non-destructive radar as part of the Council's action plan for reconciliation, and through consultation with the Dunghutti Aboriginal community the need for an appropriate memorial was established. Dozens of graves, some of which are up to 100 years old were detected through the survey. Due to the age of some of the graves, accurate marking of a precise site is near impossible, so a joint project between the community and Council has resulted in a fitting memorial boulder and plaque marking the area.
The boulder was chosen from Thurgood's Haulage at a quarry at Crescent Head through consultation with the Dunghutti Elders of the Booroongen Djugun Aboriginal Corporation, the Local Aboriginal Land Council, Council's Aboriginal Liaison Officer and Booroongen Djugun's community support officer. The NSW Department of Environment and Conservation assisted with funding of the plaque. Wording on the plaque was put together by the Elders and support officers.
This project marked a significant step forward in reconciliation in Kempsey and is seen as a fitting spiritual tribute to lost souls.

Stage 3 of this project, in consultation with the Dunghutti Aboriginal Community and particularly the Elders, the wording for the memorial Plaque.
Funding for the Memorial Plaque was contributed by the Department of Environment and Conservation Northern Aboriginal Heritage Region unit for site management and protection, through their Aboriginal Heritage and Conservation Project funding.
The memorial boulder was chosen through the consultation process and donated by David Thurgood of Thurgood Haulage Kempsey.
Debra Morris, Aboriginal Liaison Officer, Kempsey Shire Council and Amie McElroy, Aboriginal Community Support Officer, facilitated and supported the Dunghutti Aboriginal Community throughout this process.

Best Practices for improving the performance of large collection deletes
11 March 2022 03:37 PM
Introduction
This article outlines various factors influencing the performance of xdmp:collection-delete function and furthermore provides general best practices for improving the performance of large collection deletes.
What are collections?
Collections in MarkLogic Server are used to organize documents in a database. Collections are a powerful and high-performance mechanism to define and manage subsets of documents.
How are collections different from directories?
Although both collections and directories can be used for organizing documents in a database, there are some key differences. For example:
 - Directories are hierarchical, whereas collections are not. Consequently, collections do not require member documents to conform to any URI patterns. Additionally, any document can belong to any collection, and any document can also belong to multiple collections
 - You can delete all documents in a collection with the xdmp:collection-delete function. Similarly, you can delete all documents in a directory (as well as all recursive subdirectories and any documents in those directories) with a different function call - xdmp:directory-delete
 - You can set properties on a directory. You cannot set properties on a collection
For further details, see Collections versus Directories.
What is the use of the xdmp:collection-delete function?
xdmp:collection-delete is used to delete all documents in a database that belong to a given collection - regardless of their membership in other collections.
 - Use of this function always results in the specified unprotected collection disappearing. For details, see Implicitly Defining Unprotected Collections
 - Removing a document from a collection and using xdmp:collection-delete are similarly contingent on users having appropriate permissions to update the document(s) in question. For details, see Collections and Security
 - If there are no documents in the specified collection, then nothing is deleted, and the function still returns the empty sequence
What factors affect performance of xdmp:collection-delete?
The speed of xdmp:collection-delete depends on several factors:
Is there a fast operation mode available within the call xdmp:collection-delete?
Yes. The call xdmp:collection-delete("collection-uri") can potentially be fast in that it won't retrieve fragments. Be aware, however, that xdmp:collection-delete will retrieve fragments (and therefore perform much more slowly) when your database is configured with any of the following:
What are the general best practices in order to improve the performance of large collection deletes?
 - Batch your deletes
 - You could use an external/community developed tool like CoRB to batch process your content
 - Tools like CoRB allow you to create a "query module" (this could be a call to cts:uris to identify documents from a number of collections) and a "transform module" that works on each URI returned. CoRB will run the URI query and will use the results to feed a thread pool of worker threads. This can be very useful when dealing with large bulk processing. See: Using Corb to Batch Process Your Content - A Getting Started Guide
 - Alternatively, you could split your input (for example, URIs of documents inside a collection that you want to delete) into smaller batches
 - Spawn each of those batches to jobs on the Task Server instead of trying to delete an entire collection in a single transaction
 - Use xdmp:spawn-function to kick off deletions of one document at a time - be careful not to overflow the task server queue, however
 - Don't spawn single document deletes
 - Instead, make batches of size that work most efficiently in your specific use case
 - One of the restrictions on the Task Server is that there is a set queue size - you should be able to increase the queue size as necessary
 - Scope deletes more narrowly with the use of cts:collection-query

Task Status Area
The Task Status Area (TSA) is the middle section of the terminal screen. It normally consists of four lines which each can contain status information of an active task.
The number of these status lines can be altered by setting the keyword NTASK= in the Hermes defaults file.
Every line in the TSA can contain a taskname, followed by a status message. The following messages have been defined:
WAITING TO BE RUN
a task has been activated, but is not running yet
RUNNING
the task is running
PAUSING
the task is suspended
WAITING FOR ...
the task is waiting for an other task to finish
+++ FINISHED +++
the task has finished processing normally
USER ABORT
the task has been aborted by the user
error message -FATAL
the task has detected a fatal error
CRASHED
the task exited without notification to Hermes
COULD NOT BE STARTED
the task could not be started. This is normally due to an incorrect executable, e.g. compiled for a different architecture)

City pays millions for firefighter-caused blaze
While battling a warehouse fire, crews set off a second blaze that caused significant damage
MONTREAL — A Montreal suburb was fined $3.7 million after a judge declared firefighters made a warehouse fire worse by setting a second blaze.
120 firefighters responded to the September 2004 fire, which had broken out in the storage room of a foam plant, and used a chainsaw to cut a hole in the plant's ceiling across the hall from where the fire was spreading, according to the Sun News Network.
The sparks from the chainsaw ignited nearby polymers used in making Styrofoam, which caused another fire.
The resulting second blaze along with the first fire took firefighter 11 hours to extinguish, leaving significant damage to the warehouse.
Insurer's blamed the Laval Fire Department for its mistake and had sued for $9 million.
A judge agreed that the firefighters worsened the fire by using the chainsaw.
The city has not decided if it will appeal the decision.

What does '<:' as a type parameter mean?
julia> Array{<:,2}
Matrix{<:} (alias for Array{<:, 2})
julia> Array{<:,2} === Array{<:Any,2}
false
julia> Matrix{<:} isa UnionAll
false
I wonder if Matrix{<:} means anything?
I think even while === returns false, it's equivalent in use to the expression with <:Any because all types are <: Any and an empty UnionAll can contain any type.
No, this specifies a Matrix with elements of type <:, which can't be instantiated unless you shadow the definition in Base:
julia> struct <: end
julia> f(x::Array{<:,2}) = x
f (generic function with 1 method)
julia> f(fill(<:(), 2, 2))
2×2 Matrix{<:}:
 <:() <:()
 <:() <:()
There are no checks to ensure that the first type parameter of Array actually is a type, so Array{2,3} is also "valid".

To complement @pfitzseb's answer, I think Matrix{<:} is similar to Matrix{sin}: in both cases an existing function is used as type parameter. As the doc says, any isbits value can be used as type parameter, and functions are isbits values.

How big should a slice be for a DVD, assuming that the file system restricts the size?
should slices be 1GB or so? What's an efficient slice size?
share|improve this question

up vote 1 down vote accepted
According to the Wikipedia article,
It is, however, possible to circumvent this limitation by using the multi-extent (fragmentation) feature of ISO 9660 Level 3 and create ISO 9660 filesystems and single files up to 8 TB. With this, files larger than 4 GB can be split up into multiple extents (sequential series of sectors), each not exceeding the 4 GB limit. For example, the free software such as InfraRecorder and mkisofs as well as Roxio Toast are able to create ISO 9660 filesystems that use multi-extent files to store files larger than 4 GB on appropriate media such as recordable DVDs.
So a slice can be as large as a DVD (about 4.3 GB binary for a single-layer disc).
Limited file size
If, for whatever reason, you need to limit the file size to no more than max_file_size and the disk holds disk_size, make your slice size the largest disk_size / s less than max_file_size, where s is an integer. That way, you can fit s slices on the disk exactly (ignoring round-off error), wasting no space. For disk_size ≈ 4.3 GB and max_file_size = 1 GB, you could then make each slice 880 MB, fitting 5 slices per disc.

pardon, I meant to state assuming that the file system prevents large files, what's the optimum slice size? – Thufir Sep 16 '12 at 0:22
_USER_: Okay. Edited. – Mechanical snail Sep 16 '12 at 0:41
I haven't tried that, so I've accepted the answer assuming your arithmetic is correct :) – Thufir Sep 19 '12 at 20:33

How to run downhill (safely...and fast)
running downhill
Running downhill should feel relaxed and flowing (Image credit: Getty Images)
We have all seen the top runners seemingly plummet effortlessly from the top of a mountain or hill to the base in no time at all. But how do they achieve such speed and look so relaxed?
When most people try to run downhill it feel slows, laborious, painful, and fraught with danger of tripping or slipping. But if you take part in races with hills and mountains, or you simply want to become more efficient when out for a long off-road run, learning to run fast downhill will be a big benefit.
The easier you can run downhill, the less taxing you will find the overall outing. Here are our expert tips to help you to be able to run more efficiently and smoothly downhill.
How to run faster downhill
Running downhill is good for you
It might feel like downhill running is painful and bad for your knees (see: Trail running injuries), but if you do it properly it can have benefits. Running down a slope should activate and engage stabilising muscles in and around the knee, which in turn will help to strengthen them. Stronger knees means more powerful running.
As well as physical advantages, there is a huge sense of freedom and joy that comes with being able to run more easily downhill and at speed.
Lean forwards
Your natural instinct when running downhill is to lean back because you usually feel the need to slow down and put on a bit of a brake. However, leaning forwards is the best method for more efficient running downhill and it means you will not overly tire muscles.
Try to think hard about relaxing and learning forwards as you go. A good tip is to aim to align your shoulders in front of you with your knees and you run downhill.
Stride out
It can be tempting to shorten your stride when running downhill but longer strides are what the top athletes do. You will cover more ground more quickly and it's easier to lean forward when taking longer steps.
Legs should be bent and you should try to push yourself forwards, leading with your chest, with each step, rather than letting gravity alone pull you down the hill.
More technical and steeper slopes will require a shorter, more accurate step to avoid injury so keep the long strides for the gentler gradients. Also watch how the experts take side steps, too, to maintain momentum and balance.
Land on your midfoot
The best runners head downhill with almost flat feet. It's not a good idea to hit the ground with your forefoot or your heel. Hitting the middle of the fort gives the greatest balance and bounce and the best control.

More tips for running downhill on trails
Use your arms
To maintain balance and to aid the forward motion, use your arms like mini windmills by your side. The aim is to do small, rounded movements with your hands and arms.
Look ahead
It is tempting to look at your feet the whole time, but you should be looking ahead and at least 10 metres/30 feet in front of you. If you do this your brain will be able to more easily assess what is coming on the trail or the hillside.
If you look down close to your feet you will be more likely to slough and this is not good for downhill speed. Look up and ahead.
Empty your mind
It's fear and anxiety that will slow you down on descents. Trust your body's capabilities and your instincts and simply let your worries go.
The right footwear
Running downhlll, especially on tracks, trails and hill paths requires the right trail running footwear. For more on this, check out our best mud running shoes and best trail running shoes, and our guide on how to choose trail running shoes
With practice, the fine art of running downhill at speed should come to you.

Solr has support for writing and reading its index and transaction log files to the HDFS distributed filesystem. This does not use Hadoop Map-Reduce to process Solr data, rather it only uses the HDFS filesystem for index and transaction log file storage.
To use HDFS rather than a local filesystem, you must be using Hadoop 2.x and you will need to instruct Solr to use the HdfsDirectoryFactory. There are also several additional parameters to define. These can be set in one of three ways:
 - Pass JVM arguments to the bin/solr script. These would need to be passed every time you start Solr with bin/solr.
 - Modify solr.in.sh (or solr.in.cmd on Windows) to pass the JVM arguments automatically when using bin/solr without having to set them manually.
 - Define the properties in solrconfig.xml. These configuration changes would need to be repeated for every collection, so is a good option if you only want some of your collections stored in HDFS.
Starting Solr on HDFS
Standalone Solr Instances
For standalone Solr instances, there are a few parameters you should be sure to modify before starting Solr. These can be set in solrconfig.xml(more on that below), or passed to the bin/solr script at startup.
 - You need to use an HdfsDirectoryFactory and a data dir of the form hdfs://host:port/path
 - You need to specify an UpdateLog location of the form hdfs://host:port/path
 - You should specify a lock factory type of 'hdfs' or none.
If you do not modify solrconfig.xml, you can instead start Solr on HDFS with the following command:
This example will start Solr in standalone mode, using the defined JVM properties (explained in more detail below).
SolrCloud Instances
In SolrCloud mode, it's best to leave the data and update log directories as the defaults Solr comes with and simply specify the solr.hdfs.home. All dynamically created collections will create the appropriate directories automatically under the solr.hdfs.home root directory.
 - Set solr.hdfs.home in the form hdfs://host:port/path
 - You should specify a lock factory type of 'hdfs' or none.
This command starts Solr in SolrCloud mode, using the defined JVM properties.
Modifying solr.in.sh (*nix) or solr.in.cmd (Windows)
The examples above assume you will pass JVM arguments as part of the start command every time you use bin/solr to start Solr. However, bin/solr looks for an include file named solr.in.sh (solr.in.cmd on Windows) to set environment variables. By default, this file is found in the bin directory, and you can modify it to permanently add the HdfsDirectoryFactory settings and ensure they are used every time Solr is started.
For example, to set JVM arguments to always use HDFS when running in SolrCloud mode (as shown above), you would add a section such as this:
The Block Cache
For performance, the HdfsDirectoryFactory uses a Directory that will cache HDFS blocks. This caching mechanism is meant to replace the standard file system cache that Solr utilizes so much. By default, this cache is allocated off heap. This cache will often need to be quite large and you may need to raise the off heap memory limit for the specific JVM you are running Solr in. For the Oracle/OpenJDK JVMs, the follow is an example command line parameter that you can use to raise the limit when starting Solr:
HdfsDirectoryFactory Parameters
The HdfsDirectoryFactory has a number of settings that are defined as part of the directoryFactory configuration.
Solr HDFS Settings
Parameter
Example Value
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.home
hdfs://host:port/path/solr
N/A
A root location in HDFS for Solr to write collection data to. Rather than specifying an HDFS location for the data directory or update log directory, use this to specify one root location and have everything automatically created within this HDFS location.
Block Cache Settings
Parameter
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.blockcache.enabled
true
Enable the blockcache
solr.hdfs.blockcache.read.enabled
true
Enable the read cache
solr.hdfs.blockcache.write.enabled
true
Enable the write cache
solr.hdfs.blockcache.direct.memory.allocation
true
Enable direct memory allocation. If this is false, heap is used
solr.hdfs.blockcache.slab.count
1
Number of memory slabs to allocate. Each slab is 128 MB in size.
solr.hdfs.blockcache.global
false
Enable/Disable using one global cache for all SolrCores. The settings used will be from the first HdfsDirectoryFactory created.
NRTCachingDirectory Settings
Parameter
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.nrtcachingdirectory.enable
true
Enable the use of NRTCachingDirectory
solr.hdfs.nrtcachingdirectory.maxmergesizemb
16
NRTCachingDirectory max segment size for merges
solr.hdfs.nrtcachingdirectory.maxcachedmb
192
NRTCachingDirectory max cache size
HDFS Client Configuration Settings
solr.hdfs.confdir pass the location of HDFS client configuration files - needed for HDFS HA for example.
Parameter
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.confdir
N/A
Pass the location of HDFS client configuration files - needed for HDFS HA for example.
Kerberos Authentication Settings
Hadoop can be configured to use the Kerberos protocol to verify user identity when trying to access core services like HDFS. If your HDFS directories are protected using Kerberos, then you need to configure Solr's HdfsDirectoryFactory to authenticate using Kerberos in order to read and write to HDFS. To enable Kerberos authentication from Solr, you need to set the following parameters:
Parameter
Default
Description
solr.hdfs.security.kerberos.enabled
false
Set to true to enable Kerberos authentication
solr.hdfs.security.kerberos.keytabfileN/A
A keytab file contains pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys which allows for password-less authentication when Solr attempts to authenticate with secure Hadoop.
This file will need to be present on all Solr servers at the same path provided in this parameter.
solr.hdfs.security.kerberos.principalN/A
The Kerberos principal that Solr should use to authenticate to secure Hadoop; the format of a typical Kerberos V5 principal is: primary/instance@realm
Example
Here is a sample solrconfig.xml configuration for storing Solr indexes on HDFS:
If using Kerberos, you will need to add the three Kerberos related properties to the <directoryFactory> element in solrconfig.xml, such as:
Limitations
You must use an 'append-only' Lucene index codec because HDFS is an append-only filesystem. The currently default codec used by Solr is 'append-only' and is supported with HDFS.
Automatically Add Replicas in SolrCloud
One benefit to running Solr in HDFS is the ability to automatically add new replicas when the Overseer notices that a shard has gone down. Because the "gone" index shards are stored in HDFS, the a new core will be created and the new core will point to the existing indexes in HDFS.
Collections created using autoAddReplicas=true on a shared file system have automatic addition of replicas enabled. The following settings can be used to override the defaults in the <solrcloud> section of solr.xml.
Param
Default
Description
autoReplicaFailoverWorkLoopDelay10000The time (in ms) between clusterstate inspections by the Overseer to detect and possibly act on creation of a replacement replica.
autoReplicaFailoverWaitAfterExpiration30000The minimum time (in ms) to wait for initiating replacement of a replica after first noticing it not being live. This is important to prevent false positives while stoping or starting the cluster.
autoReplicaFailoverBadNodeExpiration60000The delay (in ms) after which a replica marked as down would be unmarked.
Temporarily disable autoAddReplicas for the entire cluster
When doing offline maintenance on the cluster and for various other use cases where an admin would like to temporarily disable auto addition of
